How to own a home
We strive to make homeownership affordable for more families in Hawaii. We provide a hand up, not a hand out, meaning we’re in active partnership with the families accepted into our program
Applications not available at this time.
Next open enrollment period: Fall 2022
If you would like to receive announcements about future homeownership opportunities, please contact our homeowner services department.

However, please note that in addition to meeting Habitat’s monthly income and debt requirements, an applicant must not have filed bankruptcy or had property foreclosed on within the past two years. All court fees, fines, time served, community service, etc. must be fully satisfied and any civil judgment or tax lien paid in full or satisfied prior to being accepted into the homeownership program.
